The hardball/no hardball train left the station a while ago.

Exactly so, let's pack it. For you to handwave McConnell basically stealing 2 seats and then cry "muh norms" is so bad faith I don't even think you believe it. You know it's bullshit which is why you're so quick to avoid the subject.

"I'm going to save democracy by blowing up a portion of it"

The people who nominated and elected Donald Trump, the man who plotted to overthrow the election, who constantly undermines our election system at every oppurtunity for nothing but his own gain, who just today unveiled his illegal $400m illegal gift, let's just say your opinion of Democracy matters little. I doubt you lot even understand what it means anymore.

And just like a good servile little mouthpiece here you are espousing 3 paragraphs that amount to basically "I have no evidence of fraud but I don't really understand the system and my political ideology now requires me to think every election we lose is rigged so I will just JAQ off about it".

It's a joke and and a court pack is the least of what you deserve.

Oh so the rule is if Republican's don't like the President's nominee's politics they can just eschew their Constitutionally laid out responsibility eh?

This is why I 100% support packing it to 13 and Republicans can get fucked about it. . You cretins don't give a shit about the rules, it's all a game so why should we play fair while you are fine cheating. It's in the Constitution that the court can be expanded. It's just hardball buddy.

Also if you think fucking Barack Obama was acting or playacting anything "revolutionary" that says way more about where your overton window is then it does about him.

It's been 11 years and you conservatives are still absolutely fucking obsessed with moderate normie liberal Obama. That's why everyone thinks it's based in racism because his demeanor and policy was like, just fine, middle of the road shit.

Yeah right now Democrats are not in power. MAGA is running all 3 branches so yeah, I don't have a lot of open criticism and I sure as fuck ain't giving an inch to them or people who sweep for them. I don't care it makes me a partisan. I could levy the same on you, your criticms is scant and always couched in "Dems also bad!".

That's not a reason to overlook all the horrible policies they both use in lockstep. That's not a reason to allow them to use the two-party system as a way to nullify & ignore democracy.

Ahh yes, the Democrats famously tried to steal an election 6 years ago. How could I forget. You can cope with "5%" but I think the fact Democrats actually abided by the Constitution and do not constantly say our system is rigged, I mean, give them 10% at least right? Right? Cmon brother. Bill of Rights? The peaceful transfer of power was delayed for the first time in American history.

This is the same government that builds nukes, runs bio-weapons-labs, drops bombs on kids worldwide, etc... and yes, even when the Democrats are running things! They don't deserve support, even if their messaging is better or they have a marginally better track record in places you or I care about.

Ahh so now we're onto "they're better, but only marginal". You know what, I'll take it, now it's just a degrees argument.

Maybe your cynicism and skepticism makes you "cogent", whatever that means, but to me it just comes off as petulant. I was a libertarian in 2008 as well but seeing how performative and ineffectual that all was is kinda what made me the partisan you see today.

That last paragraph, I'm sorry to say, contains zero actual solutions. Not a one practical or attainable, as much as you feel superior blaming the electorate. All of them to have any chance of happening are going to require working within the system we already have and electing people who agree to do them. It's the "Firebomb a Walmart" tweet in more words.

You didn't even mention some of the most systemic issues! The way we vote with FPTP is a huge deal, but then again you don't think gerrymandering is an issue either.

I'll stick to my strategy of supporting the, as you said, better governing people who are willing to pass better legislation and make better laws. The libs will continue to be the adults for the rest of you.

Oh criticism I can deal with. I've got criticism for Democrats. What I don't take is lies and bad faith sweeping for Republicans because just because you think "Democrats be cringe". And yeah, I am a partisan, I don't think that's an insult in and of itself. I don't think MAGA is bad because they're partisan, it's because I think they support abhorrent policies that are bad for the country.

You're always losing these debates with me or others

Of course winners always have to self declare themself winners. By that logic you must always think Trump is winning, he's always saying it after all! Maybe I'm not in it to win, like you said, I'm just here to be a jerk online. Just for the love of the game. You say "debt high". I say "Here's why the debt is high and who is mostly behind it" and you respond "heres chart that show debt high". Amazing stuff.

Neither can I and that's why I'm not a partisan nor a Republican

You can declare yourself whatever you want but you seem to always have a defense of them, even if you always want to frame it in "Democrat bad".

hand-wave a Uniparty difference into existence

So what's your option? Revolution?

You can cry uniparty all you want but it's a 2 party system, that ain't changing soon and I think (and I think i can prove) one of them is clearly better for Americans than the other. Declaring yourself as not participating doesn't make you better than me. See I can easily say I am a witting soldier, I know where I stand.

When a future president looks and sees a supposedly civilian science project which "only" cost $350m and $50m per year to maintain, he decides to cancel it.

And that's the part that makes Trump a bad fucking President. *He's the President*. He had access to all this information, classification ends at his desk. The guy though who famously doesn't like to read daily briefings though, he's not informed even though *that's the job*. There are no surprises, no secrets, just a man and a cabinet who only want to follow their playbook.

What actually happens is ghouls like Vought and Miller have an agenda and ocean monitoring doesn't fit that. Can't be climate change if we can't measure it right? If your theory is right then the Navy has been telling them this the entire time but they do it anyway because, fuck it, liberals have to be wrong, it's their religion.

And Trump, surrounded by yes men like his CoS and his cabinet keep information from him because he doesn't actually like the job, just the pomp and circumstance.
